UC President Mark Yudof was brought into the university by privatizer Richard Blum, the husband of Senator Diane Feinstein to further his investment opportunities in making the University a profit center for his commercial interests. Yudof has led the way in further privatization and contracting out of the University including selling off the libraries. Yudof also has helped militarize the university with tens of millions of police/military forces to repress the students and others fighting budget cuts and fee increases.

Governor Brown is pushing for the university to turn to online education to get rid of faculty and staff and become a bigger profit center for Apple and other computer and software companies. He has the support of the Democrats in the legislature who are shills for privatization and charters in education and get funding from the Gates Foundation, the Broad Foundation and other privatizers.
